Camps in Gjadra, Slovakia's Fico discusses with Meloni; will Rama face an

Slovakia expressed its support for the Italian positions in the context of the preliminary ruling at the Court of Justice of the European Union on the concept of safe country of origin. Both countries recognized the importance of innovative solutions such as the one launched by Italy with Albania.

After the European Union and Germany, Slovakia also seems to support the Meloni scheme for migrant camps in safe third countries, as happened with the commissioning of migrant reception and accommodation centers in Gjadra, which today function as CPR.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni met with her Slovak counterpart, Robert Fico, where one of the points discussed was immigration.

At the meeting held at Palazzo Chigi, the two Prime Ministers expressed their satisfaction with the intensity and quality of the political, institutional and expert dialogue between the Italian Republic and the Slovak Republic.

The two leaders - according to a joint statement - positively assessed the positive dynamics of bilateral cooperation and the mutual interest in its further deepening in sectors such as automation, innovative technologies, transport infrastructure, renewable energy and new generation nuclear energy. In this regard, they welcomed with satisfaction the prospect of developing and building advanced fourth generation nuclear reactors. 

On defense, they confirmed their interest in deepening bilateral cooperation, including projects aimed at strengthening the defense industry, supporting economic growth and contributing to increasing their security.

Meloni and Fico also had an exchange of views on the main priorities of the European Union's agenda.

Regarding the management of migration flows, they affirmed the importance of combating irregular migration and called for increased cooperation with countries of origin and transit.

Slovakia expressed its support for the Italian positions in the context of the preliminary ruling at the Court of Justice of the European Union on the concept of safe country of origin.

Both countries recognized the importance of innovative solutions like the one Italy launched with Albania.

The camps set up in Gjadra based on the Rama-Meloni agreement have attracted the attention of some European Union countries, but not only. In mid-May, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, during an official visit to Tirana, floated the idea of ​​setting up camps from the United Kingdom, similar to those in Italy, but was rejected by Prime Minister Edi Rama.

On the other hand, the German government seems to have shown interest in the new method found by Meloni, while Chancellor Merz has discussed at least twice with his Italian counterpart, regarding the way they operate. Brussels has also supported Meloni's finding, which on the other hand is facing a series of decisions from the Italian Courts, and most recently from that of the Cassation, that do not legitimize the scheme, even though the Prime Minister transformed the centers from accommodation for illegal immigrants caught at sea, into CPR, where immigrants who are to be deported because they have lost their right to asylum are housed.

But in political terms, Meloni's idea seems to be finding support, especially in EU member states that have had tough policies on immigration. So far, Prime Minister Edi Rama has maintained that the agreement between his government and the Italian one will not be repeated with any other country, but it is not known what could happen if the EU officially asks Rama to open accommodation camps for illegal immigrants, offering him as compensation the acceleration of the Union membership process. /Pamphlet/
